£2m funding from nuclear weapons industry to Cambridge University
Revealed – Cambridge University’s £2m funding from nuclear weapons industry
by CHRIS HAVERG Scientists at Cambridge University received £2 million in funding from Britain’s nuclear weapons research organisation in the space of just two-and-a-half years.
Disarmament campaigners have criticised the grants, received by the Cavendish Laboratory in its status as one of five UK institutions boasting a ‘strategic alliance’ with the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE)…..
Simon Sedgwick-Jell, of Cambridge Green Party, called on the university to end the link.
He said: “As a world class institution that ought to be taking a lead in many areas, it would be better if the university did not have connections with the military side of the nuclear establishment. http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Education/Universities/Revealed-Cambridge-Universitys-2m-funding-from-nuclear-weapons-industry-20140212173350.htm#ixzz2tDkbfbU#
